ABOUT PIVOTAL MOTION DANCE THEATRE
MANDATE
Pivotal Motion Dance Theatre has been created to offer talented young dancers/interpreters the opportunity to work in a professional environment with celebrated Canadian choreographers. The purpose of PMDT is to build a foundation of necessary skills and experiences for those who aspire to a successful future in contemporary dance. By bridging the gap between young dancers/interpreters and those in the professional dance community, PMDT hopes to promote a culture of artistic expression and to nurture the creative spark in youth. The repertoire of PMDT will consist of the commissioned work of celebrated Canadian choreographers in the development of new and innovative dance.

HISTORY
PMDT gives young dancers an opportunity to work with world renowned choreographers giving them an opportunity to build personal relationships, early in their careers, with professional working dance artists. Last season, PMDT was thrilled to present the work of outstanding Canadian choreographers: Valerie Calam, Kate Hilliard, Allen Kaeja, Andrea Nann, Heidi Strauss, Darryl Tracy and William Yong. In November of 2011, we were thrilled to present Convergence, PMDT’s first full length production, at the Winchester Street Theatre. Through the hard work and dedication of our 38 talented dancers, combined with the incredible artistic visions of our 2011 choreographers and the amazing talents of our technical support team, the show was an incredible success. The four-show run was performed to sold out audiences.

MISSION: To select talented and driven dancers, with an aim to enhance both the mental and physical skills and stamina needed to propel artists into the professional dance industry.

We guarantee invaluable work experience, job opportunities, and insight that will drive you ultimately to a higher level artistically, socially, and mentally within the artistry of dance!

*Must have pre-professional training and would like to pursue a professional dance career. Ages 18+.

ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM:
Specially selected students will have the unique advantage of taking part in exciting classes with industry leading teachers and choreographers. Dancers will train in different styles for 10 week sessions. They will also have the chance to sit down with each teacher, choreographer, educator for a one on one review of their past 10 weeks. Helpful motivation and criticism will be given furthering each dancer’s individual progression. Not only do the dancers train physically, but they also train mentally in our educational classes. The most useful and current information will be given out through research project, homework, and guest lectures focusing on dance as a business!

Students will finish the year with a self run show, starting with marketing, advertising, all the way through the aspects of a show to dancing in it themselves. Important figures of the dance community are there every year and will be watching to see their success!

Toronto Scholarship Program highly recommends that each prospective student attend at least one of the many LR Dance classes during the summer. The Artistic Director prefers to have a hands-on approach to really get a feel for each student’s ability. This has been proven to help in the “decision making” process during the audition in the dancers favour.

At the audition participants will be asked to perform a series of techniques across the floor, a centre combination, and free style demo in their strongest form of dance. Dancers will be chosen to participate in the 2012/2013 Scholarship Company while displaying a will to work hard and positive attitude. Selected students will participate in a interview after the audition commences to make sure the student is the right fit for our program. Acceptance to the program will be done via telephone followed up with an email including an official letter of acceptance.

Audition Date: Friday April 27 at 8pm
Email registration: info@gadfly.ca
Location: The National Ballet School of Canada, 400 Jarvis Street.
Arrive early; be warm and ready to start. Bring a resume and headshot.

About the Program:
We’ve spent nearly 2 years creating THE dance training program that we would have killed for to take when we first started professionally. You’ll get knowledge we and other professionals have spent years training for & tens of thousands of dollars to learn. Plus, we’re directing instructors we respect to teach only what’s essential to Speed up the process for 4 to 6 dancers driven to learn what works rather than what everybody else is doing.

The format we put together takes into consideration the reality that many professional dancers maintain parallel careers. Therefore, 7hrs+ of weekly training will be spread out over 3 days during evenings and weekends. Starting in May, the ProFRESHional program will consist of:
-Intensive training with Gadfly faculty & guest instructors
-Hip Hop Master Classes
-Workshops & elective classes
-One-on-one evaluation & coaching
-Templates to use for key aspects of your artist career
-Performance opportunities

More info at http://gadfly.ca/tuds/profreshionals/

Fees: $150 per month (Yep we’re crazy enough to offer this at approx $5 per hour & less than what 3 drop-ins a week would cost)

In order to be considered You MUST submit: Name, age, and a short paragraph summarizing dance experience & interest in the program (2 to 5 lines) through email info@gadfly.ca or on here

About Us:
We are Ofilio & Apolonia. Aside from all the usual blablabla credits (Katy Perry, Feist, Shawn Desman, movies: Camp Rock 2, You got served 2, commercials: Nike, Dove, WalMart, 2 full theatre productions, etc) we are first and foremost fully invested in the growth of Canadian street dance. We trained, grew up in this lifestyle and have been fortunate to make a living out of it. Yet we’re tired to see great talent go to waste specially here in Toronto.
